MEN.AT.WORK.

So the other day Frank came home early from work and we decided we were going to venture out to FINALLY buy a new area rug for our family room... we've been talking about getting a new one for months, (the one we have now was a donation from my mom), but its old and well used, and now full all of the stains that were nicely carpet cleaned out when we first got it... so in short- WERE SO OVER IT! We stopped at a few places, but didn't seem to find any we really like so then we headed off to a furniture store as a last stop on our way home and three hours later, purchased a new couch, which we werent even planning to buy, we've sort of talked about wanting a new couch, but nothing serious, but then this one happened and it was a great deal and something we felt really good about investing in. (our old couch was also a donation when we got married and starting to get uncomfortable because it was so well used).
So everything fell in to place and my brother was able to arrange to come pick up our old couch and two chairs and take it to their house and our good friend ryan came to help with the old one going out and the new one coming in...
It took them a little while to realize that the couch just wasnt coming in through our front door and up our stairs so they had to get creative and call in our friend and neighbor mike to help hoist the darn thing up and over our balcony on the side of our condo... hahaha. It was a bit of a funny sight, but an excellent idea and seemed like it was A LOT easier then they thought it would be. GREAT JOB GUYS!!! Thanks for all the help, I LOVE MY NEW COZY COUCH!!












We are also very fortunate that Frank is able to use the "big trucks" at work aside from his own work truck to move stuff like this because it saved us like 60 dollars because that is what they wanted to charge to deliver the couch like 3 miles away!
